VGX Shows the Days of Earth-Shattering Surprise Announcements are Behind us

Hardcore Gamer: Kickstarter is shifting the playing field a little, allowing bigger studios to profit from announcing games early, but it’s rare for that to equate to a huge, public unveiling (Mighty No. 9 being the obvious exception). The more you look at it, the more it seems like the days of earth-shattering surprise announcements are behind us. Hopefully, though, more and more little guys will have a chance to make a big splash.
